Infinity Gauntlet From Thor

Walt

More details about Marvel’s Thor emerged at Comic-Con International with the unveiling of the Infinity Gauntlet, the glove crafted in the comics by Thanos to harness the power of the Infinity Gems. Just how the Gauntlet and the sentient Gems — and, perhaps, the Mad Titan himself — fit into the film remains to be seen. Created by Jim Starlin, Thanos is a Death-obsessed Eternal bent on genocide and galactic conquest.

Michael Straczynski and Joe Quesada in 2007. You may remember the decision to abruptly end Peter Parker and Mary Jane’s marriage and the events of “One More Day” were heavily criticized upon the series’ conclusion. “One Moment in Time” is supposed to have answers Marvel previewed it with: The questions have been haunting readers throughout Spider-Man’s Brand New Day and…

Sentry: Hero or Mistake?

Walt

Well Marvel did it they got rid of Sentry in the last issue of Siege of Asgard. It helped bring the end to a lot of story lines and ushered the Age of Heroes to the Marvel Universe after the journey down the dark side with “Dark Reign“. Siege is a turning point in Marvel and the end of the many Avenger titles to one as it should be. Sentry began as a forgotten hero of yesterday and ended as a threat to mankind and a mentally deranged psychopath. The Sentry (Robert “Bob”…

Probably one of the greatest minds in comicdom is Brian Michael Bendis. His take over of Marvel is almost complete. The last seven years has brought us to the culmination of a story of monumental proportions to the Marvel Universe. He has orchestrated all major story lines to the Siege of Asgard and the end of the Dark Reign to the Heroic Age at Marvel.

Amazing Spider-Man She’s Back

Walt

Peter Parker (Spider-Man) has a certain redhead in his life again Mary Jane Watson. Peter is surrounded by beautiful women but there is something special about Mary Jane. Oh yea, that’s right they were married and very much in love once upon a time. The “One More Day” storyline changed all that, Mary Jane sacrificed all that to save Aunt May’s life. Peter and Mary Jane’s marriage was erased from history and every-one’s memories by the demon Mephisto. Still wonder even in Marvel how Mephisto would have powers that great but…

2008 Comics Review

Walt

I did not think that the Marvel comic world could top 2007 in shaking things up with Civil War, World War Hulk, One More Day Spider-Man, and of course the death of an Icon: Captain America but they did a fair Job with A Brand New Day story line with Spider-Man without Mary Jane in his life. Plus the restart of the series with Thor and Asgard written by J. Michael Straczynski an outstanding writer. And the restart of the Hulk series introducing the Red Hulk a meaner more sinister Hulk written…
